The year 2019 marks the 25th official effect of the UNCLOS and the 25th ratification and implementation by Vietnam of UNCLOS, expressing Vietnam’s good will, respect and expectation of a fair legal order on the sea.

The National Assembly’s Resolution on June 23, 1994 on ratification of the UNCLOS expresses Vietnam’s determination to together with the international community build a fair legal order and encourage the development and cooperation on the sea.

UNCLOS is served as a base to determine the marine areas under the national sovereignty, the right to sovereignty and jurisdiction of the coastal countries, including the island countries. As a result, it is stipulated that all operations relating to exploration and exploitation of natural resources in the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf of the costal countries shall have to be allowed by that country.

All the sea disputes shall have to be negotiated first and settled by peaceful means. If there is yet to be any settlement, the disputes shall be settled at the international jurisdiction agencies, namely the International Justice Court, the International Court of the Law of the Sea and the Court of Arbitration.

Being a coastal country and a member of UNCLOS, Vietnam has been making great efforts to persistently resolve all disputes by peaceful means. On the other hand, Vietnam is also trying to urge the member countries to promote the respect of UNCLOS and to protect the integrity and legal value of this global legal framework./.
